FTA-TV Survivor: David vs. Goliath

[Bomberboyokay]

This is the 37th season of Survivor (US). It's the 5th consecutive and 6th overall season to be filmed in Fiji hence another contrived subtitle and theme.



There's 20 new castaways including professional wrestler Johnny Mundo.



PREMIERES 10AM AEST THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 27TH ON CBS

Where’s it being shown in Australia?

 

[Bomberboyokay]

I don't know.

 

[Duritz]

Good chat.

 

[Hamingja]

If CBS put this onto 10 instead, and with the cricket on 7 this year, there would legitimately not be a single thing I would watch on channel 9.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Starts tomorrow. 90-minute episode.

 

[Ochre]

Looking forward to this. Sad it's the final season but these things happen.

Spoiler: 38

* the island of extinction

**** the island of extinction

Final season?

Wat?

Is it ending?

Wow, didn’t even know

 

[Gasometer]

Google says it has been renewed and one article has Probst talking up S40..

 

[Chicago1]

Oh ye of little faith. Survivor will never end. Never.

 

[Gasometer]

It’s on 9 Go.

Early version available at 4pm onwards each week on their 9 App

It's not ending but the rumours about 38 are not good

 

[Gasometer]

Wat are the rumours?

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Eh the whole Survivor ending is more of a fluff piece by 1, US Entertainment Weekly blogger. Nothing concrete lol.

 

[Ochre]

Spoiler: 38

Redemption Island on steroids basically. Everyone voted off goes to the 'Island of Extinction'

Instead of a duel after every vote everyone voted off just stays there until one challenge at the merge and one at final 5 ish and the winner comes back in.

Joe (30, 31), Aubry (32, 34), Kelley (29, 31), David (33) returning.

 

[Ochre]

For clarification, the show will be on for years still. It's just changing from what Survivor's been to what the producers want it to be (see Ben winning 35)

 

[Gasometer]

That’s what I thought

The franchise of overseas sales must be ka ching like The Amazing Race

 

[Underarm]

When they say 4pm, one day they will actually mean it....

 

[akkaps]

It works for me.

[Gasometer]

Just finished

Great first Ep, some interesting characters

 

[Underarm]

Ugh. The start is super cringy as they try to justify the theme.

 

[Chicago1]

So much emotional crap. I can't stop crying.

 

[drd23]

Was this filmed in the wet season? The weather in this episode was brutal

Ugh. The start is super cringy as they try to justify the theme.

Wasn't just the start. Not a fan of how much they brought up "being a David" or "as a Goliath" either

The challenges were good and that was an interesting ending.

 

[Reppie]

Most pathetic start to a season even.
Won't bother watching for the first time ever.

The challenges were good and that was an interesting ending.

They really set up one tribe as the bad guys which was pretty grubby. The sooner they ditch the theme the better - especially with the challenges.

Apart from that it was a pretty good premiere. Lots of non strategy scenes and good characters I think.

Christian is either going to be really good or really annoying...or both.
